recent survey has revealed that Jakarta's public transportation is among the top five in the list of the world's most dangerous public transportations for women. Jakarta ranked in fifth position while Bogota, Colombia secured the first position on the list.
While New York, on the other hand, is the city with the most women-friendly public transportation in the survey.
The survey was jointly conducted by YouGov and the Thomson Reuters Foundation. It interviewed 6,550 women respondents in several major cities; Seoul, London, Moscow, Paris, Lima, Manila, Bangkok, Bogota, Delhi, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, Jakarta, Beijing, Buenos Aires, Mexico City and New York.
Mary Crass of the International Transportation Forum said the failure to provide women-friendly transportation would directly affect women's capability to choose their line of work.
'Women are likely to rely more on public transportation,' she said as quoted by kompas.com on Saturday.(dic)
